Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice divided
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup apple butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and well combined, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice on low speed, just until the dough forms and no dry flour remains.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice and the sugar until mixed.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough, rolling each scoop into smooth balls and coating them in the sugar mixture.
- Place the coated dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between each for spreading while baking.
- Press a well into the center of each ball with the back of a teaspoon or your thumb, but do not flatten the dough.
- Fill each well with about 1 teaspoon of apple butter without overflowing.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
